ALLEN PARK -- Each week, MLive.com will sit down for a Q&A with a different Detroit Lions player. Our first victim is Larry Warford, a rookie right guard out of Kentucky who is expected to start his first ever NFL game Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

MLive: What's the best thing about being in the NFL so far, besides the paychecks?

Larry Warford: No school, definitely. I'm not done with school, but for right now just to do football is right up my alley.

MLive:Now that you've been around for a few months, what's the biggest misconception out there about the NFL lifestyle?

Warford: A lot of people think practice is such an easy thing here. They forget, nothing's ever really settled. Every day you're fighting for your job. It's not a set thing, unless you're just amazing. At any moment your job can get taken, so every day you're out there fighting for your job and it gets really stressful. It's a lot tougher than people think. It already seems tough, but it's even worse. And we spend like a third of our time out on the field. Most of my time is in meetings and film and stuff like that. It's tough.

MLive: How many gummy bears could you bench press?

Warford: What the hell? How much do gummy bears weigh? Uh ... 200,000? Is that about right?

MLive: I'll give you a hint: There's 70 in a pound. (Which means 200,000 is 2,857 pounds of gummy bears.)

MLive: If you weren't playing football right now, what would you be doing?

Warford: I play bass -- I'm not very good at it -- but I'm OK. I know a lot of songs.

MLive: What's your favorite song to play?

Warford: 'Lounge Act' by Nirvana. That's my favorite. But I'd also be really heavy into automechanics.

MLive:You a big car guy?

Warford: Yeah. I've been wanting to get into it a lot, but with the college schedule I couldn't get into the exact class I wanted to get into. But I still have time.

MLive: How much would you have to be paid to tickle Bill Belichick before a game?

Warford: Oh my god. I mean, that's life or death right there. It'd have to be enough I could retire off of. That'd be like, $10 million at the least.

MLive: Everyone has a price I guess.

Warford: My life would be over, man. My reputation would be over. I'd be on (ESPN's) 'C'mon Man' and 'Not Top 10.' I mean, tickling Bill Belichick? I'd catch hell for that one. He's so serious all the time. He's not a man you tickle.

MLive: Best prank you've pulled?

Warford: We Saran-wrapped a freshman one time (at Kentucky) my junior year. Zach West. We were in the dorms, and we were about to go to bed when me and another junior and a couple other offensive linemen who were friends of Zach's, we knocked on Zach's door. It was really just me. I was like, 'Coach (Mike) Summers, he wants you right now. He's so pissed.' He didn't see anyone else, and he goes out in the hallway and everybody just grabbed him. We Saran-wrapped him and just left him on the floor.

MLive: What's the first thing you bought with your first NFL paycheck?

Warford: A Markbass amp. It's nice. I've always wanted it, because the one I had before, it was loud but it didn't sound too good. I'm like, 'Man, the first thing I'm going to buy is a bass amp.' So that's what I got.

MLive: What's one thing you want to accomplish before your football career is over, besides win a championship?

Warford: That's so hard to think about, because right now I'm just trying to establish myself. I can't really say. I just really want to be a solid starter and get to a second contract. Hopefully I perform well and earn the trust of these guys. That's really the only thing that's been on my mind.
